Could anyone help me identify a plant that was given to me as a gift?
A photo is at

http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/~it/DSC02278.jpg

It grows lots of little plantlets on the edges of the leaves!

Thanks

Ian

The common plant which generates lots of plantlets on the leaves is one
I knew as a child as mother-of-thousands. This is Kalanchoe
daigemontiana aka Bryophyllum daigremontianum.

The habit of your plant looks different - more compact - but perhaps I
am misled by interpreting the photograph as a single plant, rather than
as several plants planted in a single pot.

I have one of those and I'm strangely fond of it - but the rest of the
family really hate it with amazing passion!

I's virtually impossible to kill: The parent it came from was about a
meter tall. I have one in the guestroom where I forget to water it for
months at a time: it's just fine. Babies have dropped off everywhere, if
they don't fall onto soil they make do with the windowsill. One is in a
tiny (1 cm) pot: that one has bonsai-d: it's about 3 cm tall, and
perfectly happy. Like the fleas with tinier fleas on them, it produces
tiny babies ... lots of them. It spent a summer in the garden ... the
babies were everywhere (but they draw the line at winter).
